Embodiment Construction

[0021] figure 1 The inner chassis 1 of the vehicle is shown, comprising a vertical part 2, an inclined part 3 and a horizontal part 4 constituting the floor of the vehicle. Fastened to the vertical part 2 of the chassis is a pedal box module 10 comprising a pedal 11 provided with spacers 12 . The driver's foot 20 generally rests on the block 12 in position 20a (black part) in order to actuate the pedal 11 if necessary (for example for accelerating or braking).

[0022] In the event of a frontal collision, the driver's feet 20 can be stretched out towards the front, as figure 1 As shown by the horizontal arrow in , thus coming from position 20a to position 20b (white part). In order to avoid a sudden collision with the pedal box module 10, a damping bumper 30 is placed on the pedal box module 10 in order to dampen the collision and thus avoid injuries to the driver's feet and ankles. In other words, the damping bumper 30 is arranged between the pedal box module 10 and the dr...

Abstract

The invention relates to a pedal box for a motor vehicle, comprising: - a pedal-box module (10) designed to be fastened to a chassis (1) of the vehicle, and - at least one pedal (11) articulated withrespect to the pedal-box module in order to be controlled by a driver's foot (20), characterized in that the pedal box (1) comprises at least one damping buffer (30) designed to damp contact between the driver's foot (20) and the pedal-box module (10) in particular in the event of the vehicle being involved in a frontal impact.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a pedal box mounted on a motor vehicle. More specifically, the present invention relates to a pedal box for a motor vehicle capable of protecting the driver's feet in the event of a frontal collision. Background technique [0002] In fact, in the case of a traffic accident, and especially in the case of a frontal collision between two vehicles or between a vehicle and an obstacle, it is possible that the foot of the driver of the vehicle will violently hit the pedal box of the vehicle, As a result, the driver's foot or ankle is injured. [0003] Devices are known in the prior art which can be used to protect the lower limbs of an occupant of a vehicle in the event of a frontal collision. [0004] Document FR 2862263 discloses a device designed to slow the upward movement of the driver's foot in the event of a frontal collision. [0005] On the other hand, the disadvantage of this system is in particular the...
